The year just begun the other day and today February is in a mad rush, soon Valentines will be here, then Easter, and life goes on! Jeez, this life. I never knew that this soon I would be 36 and would be staring at 40 through the nose! At least i get wiser.
This year I have opted to travel less as I feel my ship has steadied or my plane has reached cruising altitude. This is the time to get biscuits and something to drink however my seatbelts must remain fastened as the ship could hit choppy waters anytime and theplane might run in to turbulence.
This is a good time to take stock of the first 30 days and to cast the net forward on what is coming over the next 3 months. In January I was priviledged to visit Johannesburg, Maputo and Kampala last week. I know I have travelled less as I have taken only 6 flights. this is however still not good enough for me for it works out on average to a flight each week. at this rate this will end up being 52+ flights. working on that. Nothing much to write home about only that these trips helped me to tighten my resolve. It was not easy to stick to my one meal regime during travel as the greasy breakfast beckoned every morning. the lunch offers were irresistible but the wait made it worthwhile. During this time I leant a couple of things. I have gone through most of life being worried about so many things...am I saving enough, why have I done wrong things, why did I hurt some people, why did people opt to hurt me, have I done enough for those close to me, have I paid my bills, am I reading/studying enough...at some point I have said enough of this as i have spent more time worrying.
Instead now i have said that i will make everyt efort everyday to live right and to have the right relationship with God, I will pray as often as I can, I will say no to the things I consider inappropriate, I will love more, I will eat out more, I will follow my heart, I will work hard as I can but I will also take time to relax and take it easy. I will give more and I will live each day as if its my last.
